In this article, we are going to discuss all about the IND vs SA 2nd Test Dream11 Prediction Team and the probable chances of which team will win. We’ll also discuss the pitch report for this stadium and will also look at the best captain and vice-captain choices for the Dream11 Fantasy Team.
In the 1st Test match, India faced an innings and 32-run loss against the Proteas team. Firstly, Kagiso Rabada’s five-wicket haul forced India on the back foot and showed the real bowling class in the first innings. Despite KL Rahul‘s magnificent century, Elgar’s outstanding performance of 185 runs overshadowed India’s efforts. Secondly, on day 3 we witnessed Nandre Burger’s potent bowling, completely destroying the Indian batting lineup in the second innings and India lost the match. Now India will look for their first win to level the series of two matches. Moreover, India has drawn two Tests and lost three but never won a game at Cape Town.
Only KL Rahul (101 & 4) and Virat Kohli (38 & 76) showed some resistance against Proteas pacers. All eyes will be on the Indian batsmen like captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer seemed struggling to negotiate the formidable South African fast bowling trio Kagiso Rabada, Nandre Burger, and Marco Jansen.
